        FossilPlot is a spreadsheet application for making graphs of the diversity 
        and stratigraphic ranges of Phanerozoic marine animals. It builds on the 
        compendium of marine genera published by Sepkoski (2002) and makes these 
        data <b>available</b>, <b>accessible</b> and <b>practical </b>for teaching 
        concepts in evolution.<br>
        </font><font color="#87DCF8" size="5"><br>
        Is FossilPlot for me?<br>
        </font><font size="4" color="#FFFFFF">If you teach courses in paleontology 
        at the college or university level, this program is designed for you and 
        your students. FossilPlot is a remarkably versatile class resource and 
        can be integrated into undergraduate and graduate course curricula. FossilPlot 
        operates in MS-Excel for PC or MAC, and it is easy to use &#150; students 
        can generate their own graphs within the first few minutes of being introduced 
        to the program.</font><font color="#87DCF8" size="5"> </font><br>
